About me
Poppy Balser is a Canadian painter who has always lived withing walking distance of the ocean, mostly on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. She developed an early connection with the seashore which has deepened as she studies the sea and its environs through her paintings. She understands that the wild portions of Nova Scotia's environment are a precious resource and seeks to highlight their beauty in her paintings. She paints outside often to keep her observations fresh and accurate. Her goal is to transfer the open air feeling of being outside in nature into her studio work.
She is an Elected Member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour, a Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists and a Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America.
One of Poppy's marine watercolour paintings is held in the Royal Collection of His Royal Highness, King Charles III of England.
